Please join the Youth Fellowship on September 23rd from 5-7 pm as we welcome Jason Smith. Jason is celebrating his bar mitzvah in October 2012. For his mitzvah project, and in conjunction with his interests of both history and geography, Jason chose to learn the story of Ronnie Breslow, a Holocaust survivor, through the "Witness to History Project." Jason interviewed Mrs. Breslow and then conducted independent research to learn of her tale aboard the S.S. St. Louis and in the Rotterdam West detention camp. He now plans on teaching this story to others at local youth groups, churches, and temples so that the tragic stories of the Holocaust will never be forgotten.
The Bethel Hill UMC Youth Ministry is encouraging our young people to "JUST SAY Y.E.S" (Youth Engaged in Service). We are planning several local service works and we need adults to mentor and assist our youth workers. One of our first activities will be painting the offices at the Lansdale Community Housing Center. If you are able to volunteer - even for a short block of time - an evening, a Saturday or a Sunday, please complete the following form and place in the offering plate, the cross box in the church lobby, email or call the church office at 610-584-5936. We are called to serve our neighbors, here is our opportunity.
I will volunteer to assist the youth JUST SAY Y.E.S.
